This direction has closed and a direction issued by DfE on 13 December 2018 replaces it.

This direction requires the council to co-operate with a commissioner appointed by the Secretary of State for Education.

It follows publication of a report by Ofsted on 17 July 2018 that judged the overall effectiveness of Wakefield’s children’s social care services as inadequate.
